HELP! Hard drive died, problem on rebuild

[Brewhaus]

The hard drive for our Windows installation died unexpectedly, and I have spent most of the day rebuilding the server. Fortunately we keep the SQL and web files on a separate hard drive. However, because the information was encrypted I cannot get AC to launch the site. Can anyone help? I am getting the error below when I try to go to our website.

Line 1: <connectionStrings configProtectionProvider="DataProtectionConfigurationProvider">
Line 2: <EncryptedData>
Line 3: <CipherData>

Fixed it (I think). I used the default encryption file and set the db connection directly within the file...
